Ok, if you like the Croix interface, you’ll like the Samsung F490. The unique thing about this handset is that it pairs the Croix interface with a touch-sensitive display with haptic-feedback. Actually, like all Samsung handsets with vibration-feedback, the F490 uses a pseudo-haptic feedback system. The entire device vibrates to indicate a button/keypress, rather than localizing the vibration/haptic feedback to the specific area of input. It’s not real haptic feedback, but it’s a start.
The Samsung F490 features a 3 megapixel camera and HSDPA in a slim package that should appeal to the style-seekers out there. The Croix interface was really slick, but the only media on the handset was some “bell” ringtone – not the best way to test the audio functions. Anyway, peep the vid.
